Doorbell Communication Systems and Methods

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising transmitting, via a non-error checked protocol, at least a portion of the video data that represents a video and at least a portion of the audio data that represents audio to the remote computing device.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein recording the video data, recording the audio data, transmitting at least the portion of the video data and at least the portion of the audio data to the remote computing device, and transmitting the video data and the audio data to the cloud storage medium are performed concurrently.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein the video data defines a larger video file size than the portion of the video data, and the audio data defines a larger audio file size than the portion of the audio data.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising detecting, via the visitor detection system, a presence of a visitor.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein pausing transmitting, via the error-checked protocol, the video data and the audio data to the cloud storage medium is performed in response to receiving a request from the remote computing device.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the request is generated by a user selecting an input on a display screen of the remote computing device.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising transmitting, via the error-checked protocol, the video data and the audio data from the cloud storage medium to the remote computing device.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the video data and the audio data transmitted, via the error-checked protocol, from the cloud storage medium to the remote computing device is available for viewing and listening on the remote computing device at least a first predetermined amount of time after the recording began, wherein the first predetermined amount of time is 15 minutes.

10. The method of claim 1, further comprising storing, via a ring buffer of the doorbell, a predetermined amount of video and audio.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the predetermined amount of video and audio comprises 20 minutes of video and audio.

12. The method of claim 10, wherein the ring buffer processes a queue of the video data and audio data in a first in first out manner.

13. The method of claim 10, wherein transmitting the video data and audio data to the cloud storage medium occurs at a rate that is faster than the camera records the video data and the microphone records the audio data.

14. The method of claim 1, wherein the remote computing device comprises at least one of a smart phone and a tablet.

15. The method of claim 1, wherein the cloud storage medium is remotely located with respect to both the remote computing device and the doorbell.

18. The method of claim 1, further comprising communicatively coupling, via the cloud storage medium, the doorbell to at least one of a communication device and an event detection device.

19. The method of claim 18, further comprising detecting, by at least one of the communication device and the event detection device, an indication of an emergency event.

20. The method of claim 19, further comprising sending, by at least one of the communication device and the event detection device, a notification to the doorbell, wherein the notification comprises the indication of the emergency event.
